The Shotgun is a primary weapon in XCOM 2.

“	We've managed to salvage a variety of standard infantry small arms; this is a specialized weapon for close range engagements. While decidedly inferior to ADVENT magnetic technology, it can at least be upgraded using additional weapons salvage once we perfect the modular weapons technology.	”
–Item description

“	Firing the primary weapon always ends the soldier's turn. Shotguns are extremely effective at close range, but their accuracy drops off quickly at longer range. Use upgrades looted from enemies to improve the Shotgun's tactical effectiveness.	”
